Educational Background
Jessica attended her studies in Tanzania from the time her father was ruling the country and after, as Magufuli insisted on keeping his family grounded and culture preserved as a way of avoiding external conflicts.
Primary Education
She attended Mbuyuni Primary School in Dar es Salaam, which happens to be the same school her mother taught in for over 20 years.
The school, located in the Oyster Bay suburb, has seen all her siblings pursue their educational background, and is also renowned for having employed former First Lady Salma Kikwete as a teacher.
Secondary Education
Jesca likely attended Oyster Bay Ward Secondary School in Dar es Salaam, as a 2015 profile notes that one of Magufuli’s children was in Form One at Oyster Bay Ward Secondary School during John Magufuli’s presidential campaign period, but it doesn’t state clearly that it was Jesca, aligning with the family’s use of local public schools in the region as Jesca has emphasized in interviews that her entire education—from primary through advanced levels took place in Tanzania, as it was her father’s way of fostering national pride and avoid external influences.
Higher education
Jesca attended the University of Dodoma (UDOM) and pursued a Bachelor’s degree in 2019, later enrolling and graduating with a Master’s degree by the age of 29.
